a series of unfortunate events of me, myself and geri.
first event: theres that failed assignment i announced earlier, oh yeah im still sulking about that,
am currently working on redoing that assignment, the goal is to hopefully finish it today, and start on my last 4 assignments
(somebody inspire me *sniff*)
second event: my tarak-tarak (my car) was taken to the docs (mechanics) again. i love tarak tarak, but he's beeing such a pain lately --
for a brand new car, hes surely is not living up to my expectations-- the docs said theyre changing the alternator and the battery altogether,
good thing its under warranty so i wont have to spend anything (thank God), for the time being im gonna be using this big holden commodore car, i havent driven it yet,
but i think im gonna be wearing some serious HIGH heels just so i can reach the pedal hahahaha
third event: i recently suffered an acne breakout under my jaw (due to stress i think). it's so yucky and it was freaking me out so i went to see this dermatologist, Dr. Sacks
up at Nedlands, anyways being the logically vain person that i am, i decided to go thru his IPL/ALA treatment, hes told me that although it is very expensive,
its the fastest and the most effective. i went for the procedure last friday afternoon and boy was it painful... imagine a continues snap of rubber on your face *ouch*
i now believe that vanity can take you to dark places. the thing is, i had this notion that the acne will disappear straight away, (especially after going thru that
pain) but it didnt, the acnes still there and worse, my face is all red and blotchy and i cant even wash it waaaaaaa
(hes told me not to wash it untill i see him tomorrow afternoon). i suppose he knows what he's doing, but right now
im getting all depressed and paranoid whenever i look at my face *sniff*, i feel like watching the phantom of the opera right now...
coz i can so relate, to that phantom that is :P
oh well, i may be going thru a series of unfortunate events this month,
but i still have more to be thankful for... like my ever supportive family, colleagues, friends, and elmo the dog :-)
and today is my favorite cousins birthday Chei-chei. happy happy birthday!!! (yay yay) and to my friend tracey as well, sorry i couldnt come to your birthday party last night, but you know that i dont usually break my word unless i dont have an uberly valid excuse.
i suppose i can just strive to do better on my remaining assignments, go for some 4-wheel driving when i get tarak-tarak back and ultimately not stress too much and maybe eat healthier once my skin is all ok again. i must admit not stressing out would be a challenge
because working full time and studying masters at the same time is very very hard and demanding, but then im almost thru my first sem, so yeah...
i know i'll make it through and i'll survive.
God bless everyone!
